Nice ride, BSG! You show them hills who's boss!

I had my first flat (rear tire) in over 3 years today. I know this sounds crazy, but it was totally fun fixing it on the side of the road! I was riding with 3 other people, and they all waited for me. Luckily, it was right at the end of the ride. I'd never used my co2 pump before, and it worked great. It all went surprising well (I was even pretty fast). One thing I'll be putting in my saddle bag is a pair of tweezers, because the hardest part was getting the shard out of the tire.

The ride was fast and fun, with 4 of us pacelining. We averaged 17mph over 30 miles, which is really fast for me. I did around 38 miles total. It was gorgeous out, light wind, and sunny.
